Easy Miracles - Another Method
You can teach your creature some miracles easily. Take either Food, Wood, Water, Lightning, Fireball, Teleport, or any other miracle you can use and use some/regrab it. Then put the rest back in the dish at the worship site. You will get the same amount of prayer power, so you can use it again.
Finding One-shot Miracles
You can sometimes find one-shot miracles under trees and rocks in Black and White, as stated in the level 3 cheat above, so be sure to check them out.
Dice and Teddy Bear
In land one (the first island), go above the cache (the location where many children live), and zoom in until you are "in" the house. You should see two big dice, a small die, and a big Teddy Bear.
Unlimited Lightning Miracles
Take the Lightning Miracle and go the the edge of your influence. You can win whole towns by jumping out long enough for a brief shot and back in before it is used up.
Edit Villager's Names
If you search for the file names.txt in your Black directory, you will be able to edit this list of names that are allocated to your villagers. Make sure that you type how many names are in the list on the first line of the text file, so if you had 50 names in your list, the first line would read 50. Add the names of your friends, or the names of your enemies, it will add a new level of villager interaction. Note: Always create a backup of your file before editing it to avoid having a corrupt game.
Dizzy Evil Conscience Easter Egg
Start the tutorial and wait for your conscience to stop talking. Repeatedly move your mouse in circles and your evil conscience's head will eventually start spinning.
Unlimited Food and Wood
Activate a Food or Wood Miracle. Then hold the Hand over the door of the village store or workshop and quickly and repeatedly press the Right Mouse Button. If done correctly, a large amount of food or wood will be created for very little mana.
Beach Balls, Bowling Balls and Bowling Pins Easter Egg
Go to the God's Playground (press [F2] during game play) and exit out of the first tutorial by pressing [Esc]. Then zoom all the way out. Look for the small island off of the larger one. When you find it, zoom in on it. Rotate the camera so that you are looking at the small island and can see the large island in the distance. At the base of the small island you will see two beach balls, two bowling balls and some bowling pins with smiley faces on them.
Smiley Face Footprints - April Fools
Set your system date to April 1 and begin the game. Your character will leave smiley face footprints in the ground.
Control Hints
Since navigation is such a big part of this game,
personalizing control is key to your success and
enjoyment of the game. While point and click control
is well developed, it is quicker to assign
movement to the keyboard. Map the movement controls to
the AWSD buttons, like a first person shooter.
Set Q and E for camera rotation, and R and F to change
pitch. This will make controlling your god hand quick
and easy, and keep your other hand free to use the two-button
mouse and zoom wheel.
Double-clicking is another great way to move around the map and quickly zoom in on action you want to be a part of. Whenever moving around the map, zoom out and tilt down to get a bigger perspective. It will save you a lot of time and frustration to see the whole island and simply click to the region you want to be in.
While your powers only work within areas you control, you can affect areas outside of your domain for a very brief period of time. By quickly crossing outside of your realm of influence, you can grab valuable resources and even rival villagers that you can convert or sacrifice to gain more Miracle power.
Five Teddy Bears
To get five quite harmless yet fun to throw teddy bears, find the gold story scroll near the large crater near the Indian graveyard. Select it and do as the man says and after you finish the teddy bears will still be in the crater and available to toss about or arrange in any manner you wish.
More Bowling Balls and Bowling Pins
To find two very small bowling balls and ten downsized versions of the pins found on the small island just look near the bottom of the mountain with the Celtic Wonder on top. There should be a shallow ditch at the bottom side facing in towards the mainland where you will find the bowling balls and pins.
